Anthony David Junior Elanga
Anthony Elanga bursts forward, attacking space and running beyond the line. Elanga drives at defenders with two feet and threatens the channel. He keeps moving at speed. In March 2022 he made his Sweden debut in a World Cup qualifier. A turning point came with a July 2023 move to Nottingham Forest for regular football. At Forest he added six goals and eleven assists in 2024-25 while pressing high and creating chances. In July 2025 Elanga joined Newcastle United to pursue a continuous counter-attacking role. Elanga remains a winger who attacks space and finishes moves at the back post.
